MOLINE, LLINOIS, COR-PORATIONZOE 'LLlNOIS l oULTvA'roa-WHEEL MOUNTING y application ined April 2e,

The present invention relates tor wheel mountings for y.cultivators,. having particu- 'lar reference to three row cultivators of the type which are supported on, or are propelled from,.the front end of a. tractor. In

implements of this general type, the `culti- `vator rigs which cultivate the two outer plant rows are spaced outwardly fromthe sides of the tractor, being supported Yon 1o frame extensions in thenature of Outrigger frames. `Onxeppractice vof supporting these Outrigger frames has been to pivotally'con- 'neet the inner ends thereof to the main body of the implement or to the tractor, and

to support the outer ends of said. frames on caster wheels, thereby "permitting each out-V rigger frame to rise and fall as' its caster wheel passes over uneven ground so that the rig beams carried `by said frame will main tain a substantially uniform cultivating depth as the implement'passes over uneven ground. Y

It is'with the. mounting of these caster wheels `on the Outrigger' frames that the, present invention is primarily concerned. When the implement is traveling along the plant rows in a cultivating operation, these caster wheels should track along lines approximately midway betweenxadjacent plant rows to each side of the implement so thatV these wheels will not strike and injure any ofthe plants. Such location of each caster wheel places it in comparatively close proximity to the outermost rig lbeams,and1 have found that when the implement is' turnedsharply at the end of the field", the caster wheel at the inner side lofV the turn will frequently strike this rig'beam, preventing free Arotation of the wheel and hindering the turning of the implement. Y

The primary object of the present inventionY is to provide means for'displacing these Vwheels outwardly `from, the Vadjacent rig p Vbeams when the implement is 'to be turned.v A 'further object of the invention is to provide means for automatically effecting this outward displacement of the caster wheels when the rig beams are raised .to their inoperative position, preparatory to'turningat the end kofthe eld.- Such `construction results isles. seriei 1%,.273572.

in the wheels being shifted outwardly at the same time that the rig beams are raised, and shifted inwardly. attihe same 'time that the beams are lowered; thereby avoiding the necessity of any special operation being performed by the operator to effect the shifting of the wheels. MoreoverfbyA such construction, I am enabled to derive the'neces- Y sary power for ,shifting the wheels from the power lift mechanism which is-usually employed to raisepand lower the cultivator rigs. I

When the caster wheels are shifted'outwardly,l as abovedescribed,they.are so spaced fromfthe adjacent rig beams Vthat ,they can caster through practicallyan runlimitedrange lof movement without striking the rig beams.

Thus7 if it isnecessary to back the implement to any appreciable distance7 the caster wheels are free to swivel completely aroundtoa reversed beams.

It will thus be seen that the lower end of the" shaft 37 journaled in the sleeve 36l is connected with the wheel 43 through theV arm 39, the sleeve 4l, and the wheel .spindle 42 which carries said wheel.`

, A1 link- 46' is connected at one end to the outer end ofthe arm.4O and extends rearwardly therefrom, `the. opposite end. of said link bei-ng pivotally connected `to Iashort swinging army 47, pivotally mounted on a clampf bracket 48,which is suitably secured to the rear member 26 of theouter rig-supporting frame. Asecond link 49 is also pivotally mounted at one end on the swinging arm 4 7=, whichlink 49 extends forwardly therefrom and has it-s other end: connected tov an 50, which. extends downwardly from the Outrigger rock shaft 34, and to which shaft said arm is fxedly secured so'asto rock therewith. It will be seen from` the above descriptionthat the lower endof the `shaft 37s in. addition to'being .connected with the wheel is also connected. with the rock shaft 34 through the arm 40, the link 46, the swinging armf47fthe link-.49,-and thearm 50 .secured to .and extending downwardly from .sa-id rock shaft.. This shaft 37 therefore,

provides meansfmounted. in the sleeve V36 which is notonly connectedwiththe wheel 43,

. as abovev described,but.is Valso connected with the yrock shaft and ya'daptedlto Vbe loperated thereby.Vv s

, It will be understood: that. the caster wheels 43 at each side ofthe implement aiford ground engaging: supports. for the. outer ends vofthe two Outrigger frames, such` wheels causing theseY frames tot vswing ,upwardly and ,downwardly around. the pivot centersfZOand 27k as the caster wheels pass Vover uneven ground, whereby thev cultivating l shovels on the laterallyl disposed rigV beams28r are mamtainedvat a. substantially uniform depth of cultivation-..5

The operationof the above described shifting meansfor the axle supporting devices. of the' caster wheels will now4 be described.

`Vihen the rig beams are in lowered or working position,`.as shownWin Fig.Y 2,the wheel 43 is running in.. a position close in ,to` the outer rig beam-28 of the outer cultivatorrig,

asindicated in full lines in Fig. ,1, corresponding-to a line of travelapproximately midway 'between the laterall row Vbeing cultivated. and

the. next row spaced. outwardly. therefrom. In order to move the rigs to,N raised or transport position, the rock4 shaft-.3 4 .islr'evolved in a clockwise-direction-.and throughV said. rock shaft' thearm: 50;. which isgco'nnected` a't its upper endY on: said. rock-A shaft't'o move therewith, swung' reanwardlyg, movingthe; link 49-rearw-ardly. This rearward movement of thel linlrl 49 swings thelower endA of" the swinging arm 47 rearwardly.r At theI same time the link 46, whichV is" connected` to said swinglngarm 47', is-moved rearwardly and said link pullsl .theouter end ofz-tle Iarm 40 rearwardly. vAsthe outerfend of thearm 40I movesrearwardly, the vouter end of' the arm 39, which armris formedfintegralr with the arm 40z andextends atan angle-thereto,

is swungout'wardly afndforwardrly, the'arms V40 and'39 swinging-around. the axis-'ofthe vshaft 37?.

.Thus the sleeve41-which is mounted on the outer end of the` arm-39, andin which. sleeve. the upper end of the axle 4:2 of? the wheel 43 is1 mounted, is swung Voutwardly and forwardly away from theo'uter rigbeam 28,- carrying with it thewheel mounted 'on said-axle. Thus-'said wheel is-moved youtwardly a sufficient distance so thatvitwill have plenty ofroom tov caster without'the possibility of striking the outer rig-'beam 28, when the cultivatoris turned at the-end ly. The link 46,-is1 therebymoved forward,

swinging the ar1n-4O in i forward` direction,

and the arm l3.9isjmove'd inwardly and rea-rwardly, 'drawing the` sleevef 41 i and they axle .'42 mounted therein-'toward the frame'V of the machine, thus again bringing 'the wiheelclose in towardthe outer rig beam-28 so thatsai-dl wheel. will not interferew-ith the outer plantl row. f
